Elliott Wave Forecast Team ElliottWave-Forecast.com

The short-term Elliott wave view in GDX suggests that the cycle from the 5 May 2023 peak is showing a 5 swings lower low sequence in higher time frame charts. Supporting more downside in the instrument. The decline from that peak is unfolding as an Elliott wave zigzag correction where wave (A) ended at $30.11 low. Wave (B) bounce unfolded as a lesser degree flat correction where wave A ended at $32.30 high. Wave B ended at $28.76 low, and wave C ended at $32.92 high thus completing wave (B).

Down from wave (B) high the decline is unfolding as an impulse sequence favoring more weakness. Whereas wave ((i)) ended at $31.01 low. Wave ((ii)) ended at $31.98 high, wave ((iii)) ended at $28.67 low, wave ((iv)) ended at $29.61 high. Below from there, wave ((v)) remains in progress with a minimum extension target coming at $28.45- $28.09 area lower before the next bounce happens. Near-term, as far as bounces fail below $31.98 & more importantly below $32.92 high the GDX is expected to extend lower to reach the extreme from May peak towards $26.77- $22.98 target area before a turn in favor of the ETF happens.
